H. Jon Benjamin and Jefferson White Star in a Trailer for Justice Warriors: Vote Harder

Posted on by

Actors H. Jon Benjamin—the voice behind Bob Belcher on Bob’s Burgers and Sterling Archer on Archer—and Jefferson White, who plays Jimmy Hurdstrom in Yellowstone, star as rogue police officers Schitt and Swamp Cop in the surreal and irreverent trailer for the upcoming graphic novel Justice Warriors: Vote Harder. Co-written by Pulitzer Prize finalist and political cartoonist Matt Bors and acclaimed filmmaker and illustrator Ben Clarkson, the Justice Warriors: Vote Harder graphic novel is a scathing satire of capitalism, police, and politics in a future of severe inequality, as well as a cop buddy story for the ages. The trailer for the bitingly funny graphic novel is directed, animated and produced by Clarkson and stars H. Jon Benjamin as Schitt and Jefferson White as Swamp Cop, two police officers who patrol the crime-free metropolis of Bubble City and its surrounding mutant-packed Uninhabited Zone.

The trailer features compositions by Brendan James aka The Great Vorelli, audio engineering by Vlad Baran, sound design by Diego Escobar, and voice acting by Ben Clarkson, Ben Vigus, Shanthony Exum, Simon Bracken, Kristina Guevarra, and Shaumbé. It provides the first look inside Justice Warriors: Vote Harder, the highly anticipated graphic novel from AHOY Comics in which crime-free utopia Bubble City’s first ever election for mayor pulls Officer Swamp into a violent mission to protect and/or subvert democracy that will put him on a collision course with his beloved partner Schitt. 

Justice Warriors: Vote Harder will be on sale bookstores and comic shops everywhere on September 11, 2024.
